Just as with my other types of jewelry, the epoxy enamel group has some matching enamel pins. You won’t find a pin that matches every one of my designs, at least not yet, but who knows what the future may bring! The pin backs on these enamel designs have been soldered on, and are really nice quality pin backs. They’re the same type I used on my polymer clay designs for a long time, and I didn’t hear complaints about them in over 15 years! The pins are all a good size (Not teensy weensy). I figure that if you plan to wear a colorful pin on your jacket or shirt, you should make sure that people can see it! So I’ve included pins in the feline and canine groups for now, with an occasional odd ball thrown in (armadillos, for instance!) I have plans for quite a few additional enamel pin designs, but you’ll just have to be patient and they will be along. Of course, don’t forget to check out my holiday pins for a little mid-winter cheer. I don’t know when the first pins (probably referred to as brooches ) showed up on the fashion front, but they have certainly been with us for an awfully long time. I believe the earliest pins were a simple “hat pin” design, that didn’t require a complicated latching system. They were quite popular in the 18th century, and maybe even earlier than that. With the advent of the adventurous 1920s, colorful pins became quite popular. In that vein, I present my own colorful enamel pins! |
